As previously mentioned, Marc Jacobs this week left French luxury label Louis Vuitton, at which he held the post of Creative Director for 16 years.
Bernard Arnault, LVMH chairman and CEO, confirmed the news following Jacobs’ final show for the house on Wednesday. The 10am event saw a magnificent set that included elements from many past seasons.
The intention is for Jacobs and his long-term business partner Robert Duffy, to focus exclusively on the Marc Jacobs label.

Elsewhere, last night saw the launch of Lyle & Scott’s new flagship store on the corner of Carnaby Street in London’s Soho.
The shop’s interior was created in partnership with creative agency Brinkworth, and features wooden shelving and industrial pillars.
The heritage brand will celebrate 140 years of trading in 2014, and the space was created with this in mind as a platform to celebrate what it has accomplished. Further, international, stores are planned for next year.
